RE: New crude and multi product tank piping tie in works
You should have at least all test records (welding, hydrotest, MPI etc), material certificates for pipe, fittings and equipment (valves etc)
There's nothing too special or different than any other piping works for the products you mention, but you need to be very careful for the jet line that your pipe is very clean and dry or there is allowance for flushing of the lines with jet fuel before use.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Unless you've got things very well defined, cost and schedule overruns from your contractor are very likely. You may get clobbered by the Plant Operations team also during handover for shoddy and or hastily done work by this contractor.

look up. i understanding we will be transferring all our products in line to tanks and pipelines emptied safely
to ensure no discharge to environment when we brake flanges (for tie points which are blind flanged already). and yes contractor will need to hand to us the isolation requirements checklist for our approval before cold cutting of the
other tie in points on lines that require cutting.
thanks again for all the tips!
